Extra info about IT:
Some songs contain dynamic surround tricks of which i have set the NNA factor
to "environmental" optimum and NOT voice use optimum!.

If you have a soundcard using softwaremixing (sb 1, 2, pro, 16 [compatible]
etc.) start up IT with the parameter /L32.

I don't know if this is the best balance, i can now only use 30 voices due
to several hardware bugs of my 486 machine which is slowly dying in my eyes..
But it means i can't use my mouse in DOS-mode, i can't test in SB 16 mode a
few weeks ago i could still try sb-pro mode which hangs now also when i start
IT, i can't use Fasttracker at all anymore so sooner or later i need a new
machine.



The Musicdisk:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wanted to add one more completed song but i have no time left to complete...
I'm employed now and i'm studying with it, this is eating up all my time that
hard that i can't do much to keep goin' on....

This year's musicdisk is a mixture of old songs, new songs and songs SOME
people know but most don't.

In previous released songs, i have given various settings to use when you have
an AWE soundcard but what if you don't?
I have done some tests (in the past in Ft2 too but Ft2 is limited in a way IT
is not.) to see how far i can emulate various environmental settings in
dynamic surround mode, one of those songs i dumped in Groovy Compo to see if
i could get some reponse on it.

There are a few songs which really require a stereo soundcard as a minimum but
it is not advisable to use your external surroundset with this music since i
have the feeling you will only double-spoil the sounding.

This is my way of bringing digital environment effect to your GUS/Stereo sound-
card in case you don't own a Terratec card nor an SB AWE.

The Songs:
~~~~~~~~~~
Baken was a little project for a 64K intro, never used.

Psychadelic Consciousness will be used in an Art/Music compilation near '98.

Doomtune Softmix'97 (Sept 24th version) was intended for a demo-scenario i
wrote around the song, alas:not enough people and no more time if you think
the idea is still worth the shot of trying to code and animate it:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/8372/x.html (This was the x-mark
i was talking about :))
Contact Twelve about the whole thing, he knows most of it and can be the core
of the "Experiment" if you need information.
It's not finished but since i can't do anything in Ft2 anymore due to a hard-
ware fault i can't finish the song and it was meanted for a demo so i didn't
wanted to convert it to IT anyway.


"The best of..." and "Crumblin" are the GroovyCompo contributions of the
second and third edition, just two more tests i needed to do.
"Crumblin" has been extended after the results.

"Elemental Side of Me, Limited Edition" has an extra part in the end what the
normal edition does not has and the normal edition is missing something else
too.I did not manage to let it sound like it sounded in IT 2.xx in which the
lead has more soul and sound less fake.


"Tulpjes in de Lente" New song, hurray i managed to compose at least ONE new
song.

"Nuchter" New song (?), no actually not, yes it's new in the form of "it's
fresh" but i cannot say that the song is renewing for it's style, though i
hope that the improvement served it's renewing purpose.
